"Jutsus become more powerful the more you practice them and the more chakra you have, that's normal," Rias said. Sirzechs wore a calm expression, as if he already knew this, while Grayfia was lost in thought.
"Anyway, the Rating Game is tomorrow. Do you think you can win?" Sirzechs asked. Rias bit her lower lip lightly, looked at her hands, then thought about the three scrolls Itachi had given her.
"I'm sure I can. After all, Lord Uchiha will be there…" The redhead blushed slightly and smiled as she looked at her brother and everyone present.
...
The next day.
Several heads of important clans and high-ranking demons had gathered in the main Coliseum of the Gremory family. Thanks to prior orders from Sirzechs, taking into account there was a new clan leader in the underworld, the Rating Game was organized as an event to bring together many high-ranking demons.
Also, for pragmatic reasons by Lucifer, it was established that the Coliseum would serve as the official introduction of the Uchiha Clan to the high-ranking demons in the underworld.
...
The main Coliseum of the Gremory family was filled with high-ranking demons talking among themselves. There were five boxes connected to each other, built as large private rooms, designated for the invited clan leaders on this occasion.
Lord Bael, Lord Phenex, Lord Gremory, Lord Uchiha, and Lord Sitri were the invited clan leaders assigned to each box with their companions.
However, at this moment, four clan leaders met half an hour before the event began in Lord Gremory's box.
The four clan leaders, excluding Lord Uchiha, were talking animatedly among themselves. Lord Gremory seemed a bit livelier than the others, speaking with Lord Phenex about the alliance between their two clans.
"Once our families are united, we can establish many businesses, besides, I've been hearing some news…" Lord Phenex said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Are you referring to the Fallen Angels? They've been acting very strangely lately," Lord Phenex said, he sat on a sofa near Lord Gremory and began sipping the wine in his glass.
"On top of that, there have been reports of humans disappearing in large numbers and very quickly," Lord Gremory said. Lord Bael and Lord Sitri, not far away, were listening to their conversation and didn't hesitate to join in.
The atmosphere soon became livelier with the four most important clan leaders of the underworld gathering, "The cause of all this is that Orochimaru everyone's talking about, Lord Uchiha should arrive soon to give us a little explanation," Lord Bael said, then looked in a specific direction.
From the hallway connecting the four boxes, Itachi Uchiha appeared walking calmly, his black eyes quickly focused on the four clan leaders, who in turn looked at him.
"Hmph, you…" Lord Gremory narrowed his eyes, Itachi was too young in his opinion, "Lord Uchiha, you have arrived," however, Lord Gremory still observed courtesy and spoke kindly.
Itachi began talking about Orochimaru, emphasizing the importance and recounting his latest discoveries.
...
A few moments later, the four clan leaders looked at each other, each with different thoughts about Itachi's words.
"What do you mean by Tenseigan?" Lord Bael asked. Itachi, however, shook his head, "Actually, I don't know, it sounds similar to the Rinnegan, which is known in my world as the eyes of God," Itachi said what he knew.
The four clan leaders looked at each other again, however, Lord Phenex was the first to step forward.
"The Orochimaru problem is something we're paying attention to right now, Lord Uchiha," Lord Phenex took a sip of wine, "As for me, I'll do whatever it takes to find that Orochimaru and tear him apart with my own hands."
Anger was evident in Lord Phenex's words. After all, his eldest son, Ruval, was killed by Orochimaru.
"Come to my house when you can after the Rating Game, I'd love to talk with you in private, ah, I also have some nice things that might interest you," Lord Phenex invited with a smile.
After a while of chatting, Itachi said his goodbyes after meeting the five most important clan leaders, he had left a good impression on them, and that was what mattered.
In the battle arena.
In the dressing room assigned to Rias Gremory, she was watching Akeno and Issei not far away. Her heart was beating a little too fast while her expression reflected her nervousness.
"I…" she stopped mid-sentence, sighed after a moment, and just as she seemed about to say something, Akeno opened her mouth, "We'll be with you until the end, President, we're going to win, of course. But if we don't, then that's okay, we would have tried."
The words from the normally lascivious and playful girl made Rias smile, "Besides, president, we will win, Itachi is watching, Remember?" Issei said with a smile, but those words made him feel slightly annoyed deep in his heart.
The redhead, on the other hand, blushed and couldn't help but look at Issei with bright eyes. In her mind, this little human boy had grown a lot, he had gone from a pervert to a pleasant teenager.
But the poor boy didn't think that, he clenched his teeth silently, feeling bad for some reason, "Why can't girls look at me like they look at Itachi?" he wondered. However, he shook his head to clear those thoughts and smiled again.
...
"Today, we present to you two important events!!" an enthusiastic voice echoed throughout the coliseum.
"The creation of a new clan in the underworld and the fight between two people to resolve a love dispute!!!" the announcer began his classic presentation.
The demons in the stands smiled, many talking about Lord Uchiha, the leader of the newly founded clan.
In fact, in the minds of the high- and mid-ranking demons in the coliseum, the fight between Rias Gremory and Riser Phenex had taken a back seat. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see the face of this new clan leader.
"There was something interesting that day, You know? It was incredible, ha, I hadn't felt something like that since Lord Ajuka unleashed his power that day."
"Yes, those rumors have been spreading through the underworld lately, they also say that Lord Uchiha is some kind of human from another world…"
"From another world? That sounds strange... Hmph, I'm sure that's probably a lie."
Several demons were talking among themselves in the stands and didn't notice when the announcer began the Rating Game.
